The true state of the property market often exists in a parallel universe to what's portrayed in mainstream media headlines. While evening news programs continue to peddle doom and gloom narratives about interest rates and market crashes, on-the-ground real estate professionals are witnessing a dramatically different reality.This eye-opening discussion reveals the disconnect between media coverage and actual market behavior, particularly in what agents call the "essential" property segments. Unlike luxury or discretionary purchases, these essential transactions—first-home buyers entering the market, growing families upsizing, empty-nesters downsizing—continue to drive significant activity regardless of broader economic conditions. The evidence is compelling: a two-bedroom unit recently jumped nearly $100,000 in sale price within weeks as buyer numbers at open homes suddenly doubled. In Sydney's Northern Beaches, two-bedroom units that were available for $750,000 just 20 months ago are now pushing $950,000, representing substantial appreciation that contradicts prevailing narratives.For savvy investors and homebuyers, understanding which market segments are truly "essential" provides crucial insight into where growth will occur next. The experts share a valuable 10-year rule to evaluate any property market: values should roughly double over a decade in healthy markets, with more than doubling suggesting an overheated market and less than 50% growth indicating potential upside. By focusing on essential market segments and applying this 10-year rule, you can cut through media noise and identify genuine opportunities as we head toward what appears to be strengthening market conditions through 2025 and into 2026. Speak with your local agent about how these patterns are playing out in your area and what it means for your property decisions.

Remember the quintessential Aussie dream? A quarter-acre block with a sprawling backyard for cricket matches and barbecues? That dream is rapidly transforming before our eyes. Drawing from insights shared at Australia's largest real estate conference and data from realestate.com.au, we're exploring the dramatic shrinking of Australian residential blocks—from 800-1000 square metres in the 1990s to just 350-450 square metres today. In Sydney, new developments are even smaller, averaging a mere 280-300 square metres. But surprisingly, homebuyers aren't pushing back.This shift isn't just about land scarcity; it reflects our evolving priorities as homeowners. Australia's aging population (now one in five Australians is over 65, compared to one in ten previously) has less interest in maintaining large outdoor spaces. First-home buyers and downsizers alike are prioritizing internal living space, location, and lifestyle amenities over backyard cricket pitches.From an urban planning perspective, this transformation makes perfect sense. As one agent points out, developing within existing urban areas allows cities to expand existing infrastructure rather than building entirely new facilities on the outskirts. Sydney occupies roughly the same geographical footprint as Tokyo but houses a fraction of the population—hinting at the potential for increased urban density.Will the great Aussie backyard become a relic of the past? Are we losing something essential to our national character, or simply adapting to contemporary realities? Join us as we explore how this cultural shift is reshaping our suburbs and cities—and what it means for the future of Australian residential life.Subscribe to our channel for more insights into real estate trends that are transforming how Australians live, work, and play.

Falun Gong is familiar to many as a spiritual exercise movement, and a sect that has been persecuted by the People's Republic of China. In Sydney you'll often see practitioners demonstrating by Town Hall with flyers sharing stories of organ harvesting of wrongfully imprisoned members.

It was a big week for true crime and the Red Scare. In Sydney, Roger Rogerson's future hero, Detective-Sergeant Ray ‘the Gunner' Kelly, was in court and explaining how and why he'd shot another criminal dead. In London, the cops caught serial killer John Christie, which meant they'd sent an innocent man to the gallows for two murders. In a weird coincidence, a similar failure of justice was about to play out in Adelaide, where serial monster John Balaban had already been set free by the courts to kill again. Meanwhile, the Red Scare was at fever pitch, with leftist Aussies protesting against the imminent execution in the US of convicted Soviet spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Also in the US under McCarthyism, academic freedom was under attack at Columbia University. But this wasn't nearly as racy as what McCarthy's attack dog Roy Cohn was doing, with President Trump's future hero making Australian headlines for his rabid anti-Commie tactics.For a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes:Patreon: patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaApple: apple.co/forgottenaustraliaCheck out my books:They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.htmlEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell On a bright spring afternoon in Dublin, Ciara Fay makes a split-second decision that will change her life. Grabbing an armful of clothes from the washing line, Ciara straps her two young daughters into her car and drives away. Head spinning, all she knows for certain is that home is no longer safe. It was meant to be an escape. But with dwindling savings, no job, and her family across the sea, Ciara finds herself adrift, facing a broken housing system and the voice of her own demons. As summer passes and winter closes in, she must navigate raising her children in a hotel room, searching for a new home and dealing with her husband Ryan's relentless campaign to get her to come back. Because leaving is one thing, but staying away is another. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald Meet Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious and phenomenally old. On the eve of her hundredth birthday party, Betty tells us her story. Born into poverty in pre-war London, and growing up fast during the Blitz, Betty grabs the chance at a bigger life by migrating to Australia. On board the SS Asturias she meets three people who will influence the course of her life—Pearl, a good-hearted party girl; Athena, a Greek woman on her way to marry a man she has never met; and Leo, a German Jew who lost his family in the war. In Sydney, Betty is making ends meet as a waitress at the famous Trocadero dance hall when she stumbles into a rushed courtship with Donald, a wealthy businessman, and dedicates herself to being the ideal 1950s suburban housewife. But life has other plans for Betty, and soon she must find a way to do more than survive. Set against a century of world events and social upheavals, Betty takes us to the frontlines of the anti-war protests and the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, to Mexico and eventually becomes a TV screenwriter. Even in her nineties, Betty is still passionately engaged with the world, still surprising us. From the creator of Offspring and bestselling author of The Family Doctor, One Hundred Years of Betty is the saga of a strong, intelligent woman born too early in time to make the most of her talents without having to fight for everything. It's about the defining force of motherhood, the family we make, and how the determination to live to the hilt, with all the joy and sorrow that entails, can lead to a life beyond one's wildest imaginings.

New research has confirmed one of the greatest scandals in Australian real estate – the reality that taxes and charges from the three levels of governments comprise between 40% and 50% of the cost of creating new homes. At a time when Australia is experiencing its greatest ever housing crisis - marked by shortages of homes, poor affordability, escalating rents and increasingly high construction costs - it's outrageous that anyone building a new house on a small block of land will be paying a huge percentage of the cost to government. Taxes, fees and charges make up almost 50% of the cost of a house-and-land package in Sydney. In Brisbane and Melbourne, it's between 40% and 45%. Recently published data from the ABS and the HIA show that the median price for a residential home site in our capital cities is now over $400,000 – but over $700,000 in Sydney. The average cost of building a basic house on that very small but expensive block of land is around $540,000, according to the official figures. Add those figures together. It means that the typical cost of a new house and land package in our cities is now around $950,000. It's getting scarily close to a million dollars. In Sydney it's already well over a million dollars. And if you're building that new house-and-land package in Sydney it's costing around $1.2 million and up to half of that is taxes, fees and charges from government. If you're building a new home in Melbourne or Brisbane, you're spending well over $900,000 and over $400,000 is going into government coffers. Think about that. If you eliminated the government impost component of a new house and land package, it would cost around $600,000 in our biggest city. Imagine being able to buy a brand new house in Sydney for $600,000.  In Brisbane it could be less than $500,000.  Remember those figures, next time you see politicians standing in front of television cameras claiming they care about the affordability problems and want to fix the housing crisis. Politicians have caused this crisis in myriad different ways and this is one of the biggest of all: they milk the housing industry for revenue and in doing so, they massively inflate the cost of creating new homes in this country. All three levels of government use housing as a cash cow and they're adding massively to the cost of new homes – to the point that young buyers can no longer afford to build their dream home.

One of the most significant housing stories in the past year has slipped under the radar of news media, with very little commentary.   The latest official data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that it now costs over $500,000 to build the average house in this country. That's the cost of construction of the dwelling and doesn't include the land price.   Given that the price of residential land is also escalating to record price levels, the reality is that the typical house and land package in a capital city is beyond the reach of most young buyers.   This, in simple terms, is the essence of the housing affordability problem that has created a national crisis.   Australia needs to build more homes – a lot more than the industry is currently able to build – but the obscenely high cost of building both houses and apartments is the largest single barrier to achieving it. The latest ABS figures tell a very sad story. They show that the nation, in 2024, fell 70,000 home approvals short of the target set to fix the housing crisis – AND that home building costs have hit a grim new record high. Latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show there were 170,719 homes approved in 2024, the second worst annual figure since 2012, with experts warning government efforts to address the housing crisis so far have failed to make a difference. And affordability is getting worse, with the average cost of building a new house in Australia surpassing $500,000 for the first time in December, according to the ABS data, made worse by new requirements for sustainable builds. Making a bad situation considerably worse is the soaring cost of home sites. The Housing Industry Association says that surging land values are problematic for the struggling development sector, which is already battling soaring labour and materials costs.   Extreme housing block costs have also coincided with falling prices for established houses – making the significant premium on brand new homes a hard sell for builders.   Housing Industry Association figures showed the median price of land across Greater Sydney now stands at $2,000 per square metre. That means that even a tiny 300 square metre block of land costs $600,000.    Land prices are less – but still very expensive – in Melbourne, where that small block costs $320,000, and it's similar in both Perth and Brisbane.   But that 300 square metre block is below the normal block size. In Sydney the median lot price is $710,000 compared to around $400,000 in both Melbourne and Brisbane.   Add on that typical cost for building a home – and it makes a new house on land over $900,000 in Brisbane and Melbourne – and around $1.2 million in Sydney. Housing Industry Association economist Maurice Tapang said the dramatic extra costs of buying land and building, versus buying established homes, could squash demand for new homes. Tapang said the price of land was now the biggest constraint on new housing construction in Australia's capital cities. PropTrack economist Paul Ryan said: “It's becoming increasingly hard to make new housing equations stack up. There's lots of choice for established homes and the prices have gotten relatively more attractive compared to new homes, and that's something we've heard a lot of from developers”. The HIA-CoreLogic Residential Land Report showed that the median price of a capital city lot increased by 9.2% in the September quarter to $408,160 compared to a year earlier. Tapang said: “Land prices have risen three times faster than the rate of growth in the ABS Consumer Price Index (CPI) and five times faster than growth in the cost of home building materials as measured by the Producer Price Index for the September quarter 2024.”   At the same time, the cost of building a house now averages $537,000 nationally, according to the ABS, following the hyperinflation of construction costs since the pandemic. Add those two figures together – the median lot price and the average cost of building a house – and you have $945,160. And that, in one sentence, is the affordability issue. But I haven't heard a single politician in Australia, at any level, suggest a policy to deal with this ridiculously high cost for new homes. And it begs the question: are politicians in government around Australia even aware that the cost of a new house on land is getting scarily close to $1 million?  

The trend we have dubbed the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle is one the key reasons we expect Regional NSW to deliver strong residential property markets in 2025.   The trend, of course, is not new – with big cities like Sydney losing population to internal migration for the past 10 years.   But the trend remains strong and has not slowed down or reversed, despite forecasts by some economists that there would be a movement of people back to the cities - with big businesses demanding that workers return to the office rather than work remotely.   The latest vacancy rate data for office space around Australia shows that the “return to the office” movement is not happening in a major way.   The Property Council of Australia, which represents the big end of town including major developers and owners of office buildings, is trying to put a positive spin on it, but the reality is that office vacancies overall are not improving in Australia as the work remotely trend continues to impact the top end office market.   The new Property Council report show than more offices were empty across the country in January than six months ago as the work from home trend continues to create headaches for Australia's big-city landlords.   Australia's office vacancy rate nudged up from 14.6% to 14.7% over the six months to January, the latest figures from the Property Council show. That's a very small rise – but the expectation was that vacancies would be falling significantly by now, as people move back to the cities and return to the CBD office buildings.   In Sydney, home to many finance, insurance and tech workers, the vacancy rate jumped from 11.6% to 12.8%, while the number of empty floors in Melbourne remained unchanged, at a historic high of 18%.   Indeed, office vacancy rates are between 9% and 18% in seven of the eight state and territory capital cities. The highest at 18% is Melbourne which is the basket case among the nation's economies and property markets of all kinds.   The Property Council called for “Active leadership” from the Victorian State Government to turn around the fortunes for Melbourne, which has Australia's second largest CBD, the Property Council says.   The AFR reported that major companies last year issued mandates for their staff to return to the office, but these figures show it's not happening in any major way – and both Melbourne and Sydney continue to have huge vacancies.   The movement of people from the biggest cities to regional areas is all about affordability and lifestyle, but enabled by technology which allows more people to work remotely – which is why office vacancies are so high.   Sydney, with a median house price around $1.2 million, has been steadily losing population and a proportion of that has been relocating to regional NSW, where the median house price is about $750,000 and plenty of regional cities and towns have houses on offer for less than $500,000.   This is a key reason why Regional NSW outperformed Sydney on price growth recently. In the past 12 months Sydney's median prices have risen 1.9% for houses and 1.1% for units, while Regional NSW has managed 3% for both houses and units – with a number of individual regional markets doing considerably better than those averages.   Many suburbs of Wollongong have increased 7-9%, and a number of Newcastle suburbs have recorded double-digit growth in their median house prices, as have some of the Albury locations and several of the suburbs of Tamworth.   A recent analysis conducted by Hotspotting ranked the eight capital cities and six state regional markets – a total of 14 major jurisdictions – from 1 to 14 based on a series of different metrics and Regional NSW ranked 6th out of 14 for price growth prospects in 2025.   At Hotspotting, we expect 2025 to be a solid year overall in Regional NSW markets – but you need to see our Top 5 Regional NSW Hotspots report to find out which locations will perform the best and out-perform market norms – this year and beyond.

The greatest complaint heard most often in real estate across Australia is that there are plenty of buyers, but a shortage of listings.   The number of properties for sale has been well short of the levels needed for a balanced market, particularly in the boom cities of Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.   But that is steadily changing. According to SQM Research, total listings of properties for sale nationwide grew 7.6% in November and are now more than 10% higher than a year ago.   Perhaps most significantly, there were major rises in November in those three boom cities, with the number of listings up 20% in Perth and close to 17% in Adelaide, with Brisbane recording a rise of 8.6%.    That follows significant increases in October also.   The rise in listings nationally in November was driven by a 6.4% rise in old listings (stock on market over 180 days) and a notable 22% rise in properties being on the market between 30 to 90 days.   SQM Research commented that this strongly indicated that the spring selling season had been a disappointing period for vendors and agents.   Cities with significant annual increases in listings included Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart – all up 16 to 17 per cent – and Canberra, up 23% in annual terms.   Comparing the current situation with recent history, national listings of properties for sale are still below the levels common before 2021, but have been generally rising since July.   In Sydney, listings are the highest they've been since 2019 and in Melbourne they're the highest since November 2020. In Canberra they're close to the peak levels of 2019.   In Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide they're still well below historic levels but have been rising steadily since mid-2024, with particularly large increases in November.   The rise in the number of properties for sale coincides with evidence that the rate of price growth is reducing in those market-leading cities.   The big exception in all this is Darwin, the only capital city to record a reduction in the number of listings in November – and it remains 17% below the levels of a year ago.   The figures provide further evidence of change in individual markets, with a growing number of indictors that the Perth boom has passed its peak and that there may be stronger price performance in places like Darwin in 2025.

In Sydney, students from Shabdamaala Nepali Language School, who are learning and promoting Nepali language, culture, and traditions among children growing up in a multicultural setting, took part in a special Dashain program. These young learners recently participated in a Dashain special program, where they spoke to SBS Nepali about their thoughts on the festival, what they love most about it, and whether they prefer celebrating Nepali festivals or Australian ones. - अस्ट्रेलियामा हुर्कँदै गरेका बालबालिकाहरूले नेपाली भाषा, संस्कृति र चाड पर्वहरूलाई चिनाउने कार्यमा लागेको शब्दमाला नेपाली भाषा विद्यालयका विद्यार्थी दशैं सम्बन्धी एक कार्यक्रममा सहभागी हुने क्रममा भेटिए। र एसबीएस नेपालीसँग कुरा गर्दै उनीहरूले दशैं बारे आफूले बुझेको कुरा, यस चाडको सबैभन्दा मन पर्ने पक्ष साथै अस्ट्रेलियन र नेपाली चाड रोज्नु परेमा कुन बढी मन पर्छ भन्ने बारे बताएका छन्।

Have a look at the report out in Sydney into their new metro line. This is the $21b behemoth that opened a few weeks ago that was going to transform Sydney's public transport. It seems, at first report, to be working – and in that is the clue to public transport generally and whether or not it is successful. The trouble with transport here, and let's be honest, we are really only talking about a couple of cities i.e. Wellington and Auckland that in theory have systems outside of a few random buses. Wellington is famously hopeless and with Auckland it is hard to tell whether they are far behind, or quite possibly even more useless. Anyway, the early numbers from Sydney show there has been a large drop in numbers through the busiest of the heavy rail stations. The trick here is the “build it and they will come” scenario, which is the one that they will claim they use in this country but has never really turned out to be reality. The buses famously in Wellington went up the wrong streets, ran out of gas and never turned up in the first place. They will claim they have fixed that, but the trains are still famous for problems. Auckland buses have been hit and miss forever and they didn't have drivers for a while. But they too will claim they have fixed that. Our kids eventually refused to go for the simple reason they literally would not have got to school on time. The trains are permanently cancelled for the never-ending schedule of maintenance. So the theory has never met the reality. In Sydney, where it is working, the question they will need to ask is, is having a new metro taking people off heavy rail actually solving anything? And if people are leaving cars at home and taking the metro, how many of them are there? If you are merely shifting one commuter from a train to another train that doesn't strike me as a big time solution. If you're moving them out of cars you might be onto something. It's still early days, but four weeks in the falls in train numbers are as high as 40%. But then, their system works. And in that consistency and ensuing reputation for reliability is the real answer to the public transport conundrum. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Sydney, tiny urban parks provide local residents with much-needed green space amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. These tiny inner-city parks are called “pocket parks” which are both great for the environment and the mental well-being of residents. The City of Sydney says there are approximately 400 parks of various sizes, from pocket to parklands, within its urban area. With dwellings encroaching more and more on nature, it can sometimes be hard for city residents to find a space where they can relax, have fun, or socialize outdoors. Pocket parks offer a solution to that issue. “Essentially the real value of pocket parks is that because they're small, they can be distributed across an area of the city to give a public space to much greater proximity to many more people. So, you know, the activities that they cater to are, in some ways, very simple. But also very important when it comes to what the public domain is there for and that's really socializing,” explains Mike Harris, a University of New South Wales Landscape Architecture and Urban Design lecturer. Historically, urban planners didn't factor in space for such smaller parks but with locations for bigger green stretches both rare and costly, cities are now turning more and more to this solution. However, while pocket parks are important, urban areas still need larger green spaces like traditional parks. “Our cities are increasingly getting hotter and these larger tracts of green open spaces, are the things that are going to take that heat away from our cities. That can't be done by just pocket parks,” says University of Sydney Urban and Regional Planning researcher Jennifer Kent.  But like larger parks, pocket parks can have environmental advantages too. Research shows that for urban communities to be connected and healthy, cities need to have at least 30 percent green open spaces. For local communities, the advantage of pocket parks is that they are easily accessible, and because they are literally down the street, enjoying them doesn't necessitate any planning or a car trip which, incidentally, also helps with limiting the amount of carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere. Ultimately, experts agree that having access to a diversity of parks, big or small, contributes greatly to a happy and healthy society. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Everyone loves a park. For city-dwellers, some grass, some trees, perhaps a pond or running water do a lot to combat the stresses of urban life. In Sydney, tiny urban parks are providing local residents with much-needed green space amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.

Horrific details continue to emerge following Hamas's surprise attack on Israel over the weekend. In one village, more than 40 babies were murdered, some beheaded, by Hamas terrorists. At a music festival, Israeli women were raped and then burned to death. Many Arabs and Western media outlets sympathetic to Hamas continue to say Israel had this coming and this weekend's attacks were retribution. In New York City, London and Sydney, terrorist sympathizers flocked to the streets to celebrate the massacre. In New York City, they called the attacks a “glorious victory.” In Sydney, they chanted, “Gas the Jews” and called the vicious attack a day of “pride” and “victory.”
